Mexico Moves to Dismantle Regulatory Watchdogs
In a significant legislative shift, the Mexican Senate has approved a series of proposals aimed at eliminating independent watchdog agencies, including economic and telecom regulators. These changes, part of a broader reform agenda, reflect a government initiative to consolidate control over various sectors including antitrust policy. The outdated regulatory structures have come under scrutiny, leading to the passage of bills that dismantle key oversight bodies. However, this move has sparked concerns about transparency and potential drawbacks in regulatory enforcement, leaving uncertainty surrounding these controversial reforms.
